Two formulations have been devised to create biscuits customized for people with gluten allergies. Corn flour has been replaced with chickpea flour at a consistent rate of 20% to boost nutritional value with its high protein content. Furthermore, quinoa flour (QF) has been added in different quantities (20% – 40%) for its protein richness (14.87%) and amino acid content. Another option suggests using Jerusalem artichoke (JAF) flour, used as a sugar substitute, as it is known for its health benefits and high inulin content. It has been integrated into bis-cuit formulations at levels from 20% and 40%. Both formulations have also undergone a reduction in sugar content of 15% and 30%. The chemical properties and phytochemical content of the raw materials were evaluated. Jerusalem artichoke flour (JAF) exhibited the highest antioxidant activity (92.02%). The addition of QF to biscuits increased protein content with higher replacement rates, as well as fiber content and mineral levels. JAF was thoroughly examined in two specific formulations as a partial sugar substitute. The inclusion of JAF caused minimal changes in physical properties, and sensory evaluations indicated satisfactory results, especially for biscuits containing up to 40% QF. Furthermore, incorporating 20% JAF allowed for a 30% sugar reduction without affecting flavor. Additionally, the QF - containing supplemented biscuits had a reasonably high essential amino acid balance, indicating that they may help children with celiac disease consume more amino acids.","PeriodicalId":503120,"journal":{"name":"Food Technology Research Journal","volume":"7 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141230535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, oat flour is relatively high in magnesium, iron, and zinc. Strawberry powder, on the other hand, is a good source of calcium, iron, sodium, and potassium. Cakes made by substituting wheat flour with different levels of oat flour and 15% strawberry powder showed significantly higher levels of moisture, protein, ash, dietary fiber, beta - glucan, and carotene compared to the control group. Mineral content also increased significantly with the addition of 15% strawberry powder and different oat flour levels. However, incorporating both strawberry powder and whole oat flour into the cupcakes negatively impacted their volume and specific volume, while weight and density increased. Hardness and gumminess also increased with higher oat flour substitution. On a positive note, the addition of 15% strawberry powder led to an improvement in all sensory parameters measured.

Additionally, various aspects such as cooking quality, color, texture profile, and sensory evaluation of the vermicelli were investigated. Germinated chickpea flour had significantly higher protein, fat and fiber content (24.38, 7.6 and 5.4%, respectively) compared to other ingredients.

Substituting 15% of the wheat flour with germinated chickpea flour increased the protein content of the vermicelli. Meanwhile, adding whole pumpkin powder led to an increase in fiber and ash content. Furthermore, a significant increase in mineral content was observed. Vermicelli containing 20% whole pumpkin powder displayed the highest beta - carotene content. Substituting wheat flour with germinated chickpea flour and whole pumpkin powder improved cooking quality and resulted in a darker yellow to brown color of the vermicelli.

The current research examines the preventive impact of glutathione on liver, kidney function, and tumor markers against furan - induced injury in mice. Male albino mice were divided into seven groups: a control (G1), G2 (0.5mg furan/ kg b.w./day), G3 (1 mg furan/kg b.w./day), G4 (2 mg furan/kg b.w./day), G5 (4 mg furan/ kg b.w./day), G6 (2 mg furan/kg b.w./day +500 mg glutathione/kg/day), and G7 (4 mg furan/kg b.w./day +500 mg glutathione/kg/day). At the end of the study, after 8 weeks, the anesthetized and sacrificed were done, and then the different tests were conducted. Results: Furan significantly increased hepatocyte damage in mice, as evidenced by increased activities of aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) after a 2mg/kg/ day dose. Furan promoted oxidative stress due to elevated malondialdehyde levels, occurring at various furan dosages (0.5, 1, 2, and 4mg/kg/day). The study found that pre-treatment with glutathione at 500 mg/kg/day reduced AST, ALT, and MDA activities in mice, while furan levels did not negatively impact kidney functions. It should be noted that all levels of furan increased tumor markers [Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP)] compared to the control (3.1 ng/ml), whereas glutathione reduced the level of AFP in groups taking furan at (2 and 4 mg/kg) to range (3.5 – 3.6 mg/ml) compared to (4.6 – 4.8 mg/ml) for the same groups taking furan at (2 and 4 mg/kg) without glutathione. Glutathione's protective effects against furan - induced hepatocyte damage may be due to its exceptional capacity to scavenge free radicals. Glutathione, with its strong antioxidant properties, has the potential to be a promising therapeutic and preventive agent for diseases induced by furan compounds.","PeriodicalId":503120,"journal":{"name":"Food Technology Research Journal","volume":"2 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140407971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
